Factors are the numbers that divide a given number evenly without remainder. In daily life, we use factors for tasks like sharing items equally, arranging things, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the factors of 5929, how they are used in real life, and tips to learn them quickly.
The numbers that divide 5929 evenly are known as factors of 5929.
A factor of 5929 is a number that divides the number without remainder.
The factors of 5929 are 1, 7, 37, 49, 259, 343, 2023, and 5929.
Negative factors of 5929: -1, -7, -37, -49, -259, -343, -2023, and -5929.
Prime factors of 5929: 7 and 37.
Prime factorization of 5929: 72 × 372.
The sum of factors of 5929: 1 + 7 + 37 + 49 + 259 + 343 + 2023 + 5929 = 8648
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 5929. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 5929 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 5929 by 1, 5929 × 1 = 5929.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 5929 after multiplying
7 × 847 = 5929
37 × 161 = 5929
49 × 121 = 5929
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 5929 are: (1, 5929), (7, 847), (37, 161), (49, 121).
All these factor pairs result in 5929.
For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method
Step 1: Divide 5929 by 1, 5929 ÷ 1 = 5929.
Step 2: Continue dividing 5929 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
5929 ÷ 1 = 5929
5929 ÷ 7 = 847
5929 ÷ 37 = 161
5929 ÷ 49 = 121
Therefore, the factors of 5929 are: 1, 7, 37, 49, 259, 343, 2023, 5929.
Factors can be found by dividing with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 5929 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
5929 ÷ 7 = 847
847 ÷ 7 = 121
121 ÷ 11 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
The prime factors of 5929 are 7 and 37.
The prime factorization of 5929 is: 72 × 372.
The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show
Step 1: Firstly, 5929 is divided by 7 to get 847.
Step 2: Now divide 847 by 7 to get 121. Step 3: Then divide 121 by 11 to get 11. Here, 11 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 5929 is: 72 × 372.
Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs.
Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.
Positive factor pairs of 5929: (1, 5929), (7, 847), (37, 161), (49, 121).
Negative factor pairs of 5929: (-1, -5929), (-7, -847), (-37, -161), (-49, -121).
Mistakes are common while finding factors. We can identify and correct those mistakes using the following common mistakes and the ways to avoid them.
There are 37 students and 5929 candies. How will they divide it equally?
They will get 160 candies each.
To divide the candies equally, we need to divide the total candies by the number of students.
5929/37 = 160
A garden is square-shaped, and the area is 5929 square meters. Find the length of one side?
77 meters.
To find the side of the square, we use the formula,
Area = side × side
Side = √5929
Side = 77
There are 49 packages and 5929 widgets. How many widgets will be in each package?
Each package will have 121 widgets.
To find the widgets in each package, divide the total widgets by the number of packages.
5929/49 = 121
In a tournament, there are 7 teams, and 5929 points. How many points are there for each team?
There are 847 points for each team.
Dividing the points by the total teams, we will get the number of points for each team.
5929/7 = 847
5929 books need to be arranged in 11 shelves. How many books will go on each shelf?
Each of the shelves has 539 books.
Divide total books by shelves.
5929/11 = 539
